Two ways to Guwahati
From Tezpur, one route runs west along the north bank through Dhekiajuli and Mangaldai, then crosses the Brahmaputra into Guwahati. The other crosses the Kolia Bhomora bridge south of Tezpur and joins the main highway through Nagaon and Jagiroad. Both are mostly flat, and the choice depends on traffic, roadworks and where in Guwahati you're going.
Leaving Tezpur
Army and Air Force stations need passes for the truck and a handover inspection of service quarters. University housing needs a vacating notice. Share the rules with your mover when you book.
Where in Guwahati
Via the north bank, the truck reaches North Guwahati and crosses to Jalukbari and the western side. Via Nagaon, it enters through Sonapur and Narengi, near Six Mile and Dispur. Hill homes may need a carry. Give the exact address and a landmark.
Guwahati buildings
Apartment societies usually want the move registered, and lifts can be small. Our guide to society NOCs and lift bookings has a checklist.
Why people make this move
Postings, jobs, hospitals and colleges draw many Tezpur families to Guwahati, and service families move between the two stations. If an employer is paying, ask what documents they need; every mover we work with provides a GST invoice.
Rain and storms
Storms from March to May and heavy rain from June to September can slow both routes and waterlog parts of Guwahati. Keep a spare day and wrap everything. November to March usually suits this route best.
Bihu and Puja
Rongali Bihu and Durga Puja crowd the towns on both routes. Choose a date clear of them.
Students
A student moving from Tezpur to a Guwahati college usually needs a few-items move. Check the hostel's dates first.
Packing
Ask for wooden furniture in blankets, mattresses and fabrics in sealed covers, and electronics in their own cartons with moisture absorbers.
Mangaldai and Dhekiajuli
Some moves on the north-bank route end in Mangaldai or Dhekiajuli. Give the exact address and a landmark.
Service moves
If you're moving between defence stations, ask the unit what documents it needs for the claim, and make sure the inventory matches the service format.
Two-wheelers
A scooter or motorcycle can usually travel in the same truck if it is wrapped, photographed and listed separately. Our bike transport service page explains the options.
Settling in
In Guwahati, ask whether water comes from a borewell, a tank or a tanker, check the power backup, and book internet early. Our guide to address changes after moving lists the official records to update.
Mangaldai
Mangaldai, on the north-bank route, is the Darrang district headquarters, with a busy market. Some moves end there; give the exact address.
North Guwahati and Amingaon
On the north-bank route, the truck reaches Amingaon and North Guwahati before crossing the river. If your new home is on the north bank, the move is shorter; give the exact address.
